"...It's hard to breathe, but that's alright..."
Achilles didn't expect this. After an amazing three days in Barbados he comes back to Detroit to a surprise birthday party thrown by his boys.
It must of been Mahika who had told them to set it up. For years his birthday had come and gone, everybody knowing how much Achilles despised the day he was born.
Bodies danced to the beat of Megan Thee Stallions Savage, going all out to attract Power and those who occupied the VIP section.
With a laced blunt in his mouth, Power blew smoke out of his nose before passing it to Mahika who sat on his lap.
She was fidgety, it being a day and few hours since she had indulged in drugs.
Taking a pull of the laced blunt, Mika groaned, the blunt not seeming to feed into her addiction.
"When did you say he'd get here?" Mika mumbled into Achilles hear. He had told her that a worker of his was coming through to give them some Ecstasy pills.
"In a minute baby, stop moving." He groaned, sitting back as he sipped from his cup of lean.
Biting her bottom lip, Mika lifted her shaky hands, taking another puff from the blunt, mentally telling her self to calm down and enjoy the vibes.
"Nigga would you stop looking." Jermain nudged Mason, making him almost spill his drink.
"The fuck you do that fo' my Nigga?!"
" 'Cause you over there drooling over Mika. If Achilles even catch your look he's gonna raise all hell."
Mason sucked his teeth, taking another sip of his Hennessy as he sat back in the leather couch.
Mahika was looking beautiful, her honey curls cascading over her shoulders, her body adorning an expensive skin tight black dress while her lips were painted scarlet red.
She looked different, he didn't know if anybody else noticed or they chose to ignore it, but ever since she started taking drugs he's seen the change in her.
Mason was fucking angry at Achilles, he's destroyed Mahika, feeding her lies, killing her with drugs like he's doing himself and it hurt him.
Yeah he wanted Mahika, he fucks with girls and got a son with her friend but he would treat her better than his cousin is doing.
She was smart, and ambitious, but stayed turning into a drug addict, she stayed knowing Achilles cheated on her and now has a child and he's probably still fucking the baby mama.
Mason chuckled at his thoughts, throwing back the rest of his drink before focusing on a shawty they had let up in their section.
He called her over, now wanting her to entertain him so he could keep his mind off Mahika.
Achilles' phone chimed, a message from Tianna asking when he's coming to see his son Xavier.
He looked up at Mahika on his lap, she sipped some Ciroc, not focused on him, enabling him to reply with a "I'll come thru, when I come thru. Stop fucking asking me."
With knowing of his son for nearly two months Achilles has went to see him twice. The one reason being he still couldn't believe he had a child, a son, someone with his fucked up DNA, someone he had to be a parent to when his parents only disowned him his entire life.
